Waiting on Wednesday: Darkness Before Dawn

Time for another amazing Wednesday! ♥ :)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by the awesome Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating! This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

Darkness Before Dawn by J.A. London

This electrifying new trilogy blends the best of paranormal and dystopian storytelling in a world where the war is over. And the vampires won.

Humans huddle in their walled cities, supplying blood in exchange for safety. But not even that is guaranteed. Dawn has lost her entire family and now reluctantly serves as the delegate to Lord Valentine, the most powerful vampire for miles. It isn’t until she meets Victor, Valentine’s son, that she realizes not all vampires are monsters....

Darkness Before Dawn is a fresh new story with captivating characters, unexpected plot twists, a fascinating setting, and a compelling voice. Written under the name J. A. London by a talented mother-son team, the trilogy is perfect for fans of True Blood and the House of Night and Morganville Vampires series.

To say that I'm excited for this book would be an understatement — I think this has to be one of my most anticipated reads of 2012! ♥ I'm just completely in love with that cover, and the whole "dystopian vampire" thing kind of reminds me of The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa, but in the best possible way! :)

Isn't this cover absolutely stunning. It reminds me a little of Fallen by Lauren Kate. Love love love the idea of a dystopian/paranormal mix. Especially one involving vampires. I need to check out The Immortal Rules as well. Gosh I'm so behind!

The dress! The dress!! THE DRESS!!! Oops sorry, Mimi, I can't help acting like that every time I see a book with beautiful dress in the cover! Well, luckily there are many books that feature gorgeous dress in the cover now! <3

It kind of reminds me with The Immortal Rules too! Oh, a mother-son work? I'm definitely intrigued to check out this book when it comes out!! What I find strange is I'm not a big fan of House of Night series, but I LOVVVEEE Southern Vampire series... and I haven't read Morganville Vampire series! So it might be safe to say that I don't know whether I'm going to love this book or not! xD

The cover is SO Fallen-esque! Love the black dress! And omg vampire-dystopia is becoming my fave kind of book too! I'm yet to read such books yet (and yet I LOVE the sound of it). Can't wait for this one and The Immortal Rules! :D

OMG YES! I LOOOVVEEE Darkness Before Dawn! The cover itself would have convinced me to get the book but the story sounds AWESOME. And if Mimi is waiting for it this lovely Wednesday, I am SO BUYING it when it's out!

Confession: I almost left your blog without commenting when I saw the word "Vampires." No problem with vampires, I'm just tired of the same-old-same-old. However, I'm glad I kept reading because this actually looks fabulously fresh and interesting! Besides, despite their potentially "overdone-ness," I'm still a sucker for a Dystopian. I will definitely be reading it. Thanks for the heads up!

HEY! MAY! That's only next month! For some reason I kept thinking this was out late June. Anyway, I SO WANT TO READ THIS. Vampire dystopians are totally the next big thing, Julie Kagawa will make sure of that :D So I already know I want MORE from that genre. I have high hopes for this one and with such a gorgeous cover, it's just begging to be added to my bookshelf!

YESSSSS! OK, seriously, SO excited for this one. I'm with Brodie: I totally think vampire dystopians are gonna be the next big thing :DThere's The Immortal Rules and The Hunt coming out... what else? :DThis one looks AMAZING. so excited for it :D
